The best mobile rates for students in Barcelona

17-11-2020

Barcelona is an open, inclusive and cosmopolitan city, in addition to having some of the best universities in the country; undoubtedly, some attractions that make it one of the favorite Spanish cities for national and international students. Hence, in the city you find the possibility of hiring a lot of mobile phone services specially designed for this group; However, not all the options are cheap, nor are they all perfectly suited to the needs of students, as stated by the experts at Zona-internet.com. That is why in this article we are going to help you hire the best possible option. 

Hire internet for students 

It is important to hire internet offers for non-permanent students since, as a general rule, these types of clients are usually in Barcelona temporarily, at most nine months a year, since during the summer they return to their places of origin. That is why it is very worth hiring the internet for students without permanence as stated in this article from Zona-internet.com: http://www.zona-internet.com/internet-estudiantes/. And that is how the student can terminate the internet contract whenever she wants. 

Have internet on your mobile?

Many students think that, if they already have internet at home, why carry it on their mobile? But the truth is that more and more young people are using the Internet on the phone intensively, as they point out in Zona-internet.com. Now it is rare that only the internet at home and at your university is enough, there are many more hours in which you will need it! Therefore, when hiring your mobile, make sure you have enough data! 

What type of mobile rates to hire?

It is very important to know what type of rate you need to pay less for the use of your phone, because depending on what you hire you may be paying more than a person who makes a greater use. Here we offer you the following alternatives:

  • For example, if you make few calls, even if they are very long, you can opt for a rate of 0 euros per minute but with call setup. In this way, even if you talk long hours, the cost would only be for the aforementioned concept.
  • On the other hand, if you make many calls but short, it is better that you opt for a flat rate because, even if the calls are short, you would have to pay the call establishment each time and it may be more expensive.
  • If you are a foreign student and you want to be in contact with your loved ones, most of the marketers offer packages so that you can call your country at the best price whenever you want.
  • Remember that operators currently offer the possibility of navigating throughout the EU without having to pay more for your data rate and also to call Spain from any EU country as stated in this article: https://europa.eu/youreurope/citizens/consumers/internet-telecoms/mobile-roaming-costs/index_es.htm.
